Cleft Palette in a Puppy - Behavior

Cleft palate

When the puppy is growing on YouTube, the roof of the mouth should be closed. When this does not happen, it is called congenital tightness. (The palate can also be damaged after birth, which is called acquired malignant lock.) Too large of the opening, can seriously affect the dog, but also small and relatively irrelevant. Some dogs die after birth, disabling the nurse due to deformity. Less affected dogs can still pass food between their noses and sinuses, ending with breathing problems or pneumonia. Dogs with light bark should be fed dry food, as canned food goes into the nose more easily.

 

Symptoms

When you open the puppy’s mouth, you will see a soft lock (near the throat) or a split on the roof of his mouth. In addition to eating problems, dogs with a moderate chocolate palette may enjoy constant nasal discharge his dinner will increase his nose-nipples and sneezing and coughing. He is very vulnerable to impending addictive pneumonia from food particles going into the lungs. Aspiration pneumonia often proves fatal.

 

Affected reproduction

Although any puppy may be born with a perforated lock, the condition will often appear within certain species. These include the Beagle, Chihuahua, Shitland Brotherdog, Labrador and Sonali Retrievers, Kakar Spaniel, Sakozjar, German Shepherd, Dachshunds, Britain Spaniel, Staffordshire Bull Terriers, Collie, Toy Poodle, Norway. All brachycephalic ("short head") species are also prone. These include Bulldogs, Pekingese, Shih-Teju and Pugs.

 

Treatment

The perforation lock is light, no treatment is required. Severe perforation of the palate requires surgical correction. However, this is not an easy surgery, so vets very young puppies do not perform it. The dog needs a feeding tube to feed him until he is about 4 months old. You can install a temporary feeding tube next to the neck of your pet puppy. After surgery your dog still needs to be fed through a tube for about a month, until the surgical treatment has healed. She must wear an Elizabeth collar so she doesn’t have to rub her face and open the skin. After removing the feeding tube, your dog eats canned food for several weeks, as dried food can irritate his mouth
